Great so now in addition to having to support everything the terminal does (the whole pile of garbage hacks that were added since the 60s) you have this electron crap running which on its own is probably more complex than 99% of software out there. This basically took the terminal and made it a hundred times worse.

OTOH, if you do what your parent suggests and start from scratch (no terminal support) you have a platform that isn't supported by anything yet, so unless you port or reimplement everything you need you have to keep using both in parallel which sounds just cumbersome.
